The Best Wii Games You’ll Never Play

The Nintendo Wii is a lot of fun, but it’s in a bit of a new game drought right now. While the rest of us sit with bated breath awaiting Super Smash Brothers and Metroid, some folks have made some Wii games of their own. Or at least they pretended to and put videos on the Internet.

Here’s a whole series of rejected WiiPlay games from the folks at Loading.Ready.Run.

Playstation 3 vs. Wii

Hmmm… It’s a hard choice on how to spend your after Christmas/Hanukkah money. I hope these informational videos will help.

This is a commercial for the Wii. Nobody wants to play with the fat chick. But she is wearing layers (more…)

Nintendo Wii and your mother

Most people out there I will not be able to convince either way about the Wii.  Either you are already in love with is, as I am, or you hate it and Playstation/Xbox/MMORPGs are the way to go.  But you are here reading this post, so you must be interested a little.

So, if you already love the Wii, what else can I say to you? We could converse about how great the system development is.  We could have lenghty chats about how great Wii Sports is, and that no, we don’t understand who would actually buy for $50.00 bucks since it comes with the system.  The conversation has probably already been had at how incredible games like Zelda and Rayman are for the system and how sore our upper bodies are from the constant use of the Wii. Prose is already exhausted over how awesome and revolution- (see, if you knew that this was the system’s orginal name you would think I was cool right now)ary the controllers are even though you have to buy the wii-mote and the nunchuks separately.  But, we have already had this conversation.

Right now I want to talk about your mother.  Is your mom already playing your Wii?  Cause she will be.  (more…)

Playing with your Wii

It’s great to be an Electronics Merchandiser for a megalithic retail corporation.

I got to play Wii tennis thanks to my employers, and honestly, having spent five minutes smashing a store manager friend of mine, I can honestly say the hype is real.

The control is right on responsive. I won primarily because I swung like I was playing tennis, as opposed to playing a tennis videogame. Even pulled off a tasty bit of spin with a little flick of the wrist.

Fighting with 7000 people to get on a system doesn’t leave you much time for replay. Nintendo had some of the other Wii sports on tap and some demo’s showing how the controllers work (including a targetshooting game that started off with the ducks from duck hunt flying around). Talked to another Electronics guru who said the baseball game was spot on.
